They are still young lions living in hostile territory and both are keeping their heads low. So them being separated longer is a not that odd.
It would also be a huge blunder if for an entire month multiple people misidentified the same lioness. The reserves don't have any stakes about pretending lions are still alive.
However, it is always possible that one of the lionesses was killed later. 

We have to be realistic though. We have been so happy with those two surviving that we kind of lost track that as a pride, the Othawas are in trouble. 
The Ximhungwe pride have taken a lot of their territory, have the protection of two strong males and are well ahead if it comes to raising cubs. 
Unless some mayor tragedy befalls that pride. Its only a matter of time before the Othawas are pushed out completely.

The realistic part is right on.  It'd just be a shame for them to have made it to almost that age, and then......

The longer there are no pictures together however, the more of us will assume this is the situation. Reply
